Oh well, at least this comparison was possible.

I agree on so many levels with you and am truly grateful to be reminded of those Crows - Indian Summer is one of my alltime favorites and Hellhound still sits in my untrieds (I AM ashamed of this!!) i feel the same about holos, to be honest, this post could do a plain copy/paste with quite some of them. It seems we end up with Indies like with the biggies: a preference of a certain brand or formula will guide our decisions. And OMG those pale Opi and Essie multichromes give me the worst corpse hands EVER, not to mention the level of boredom they ignite, I totally forgot about them :-S The Scherer&#39;s were released before I rejoined the polish galaxy and when I started collecting again there was only some beautiful pictures and longing posts left.... So I think I ended up with an equally long reply, you got me talking here my dear ;-)!!!!! Thanks again &lt;3Polished Marvelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00506219570395532115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046939894284397235.post-32054436382853139292014-04-09T21:44:21.230+02:002014-04-09T21:44:21.230+02:00I love multichromes but I think I want to skip the...I love multichromes but I think I want to skip the dupes :D But then who won&#39;t!My Nail Polish Onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05640711512064909563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046939894284397235.post-4973694701312192732014-04-09T21:28:42.277+02:002014-04-09T21:28:42.277+02:00What an excellent post -- I appreciate it on so ma...What an excellent post -- I appreciate it on so many levels! Thanks for directing us to the Will Paint Nails for Food Nail Talk post, which I agree is a FANTASTIC idea. I don&#39;t have enough experience with multichromes to comment about owning dupes, but I do find the multiple multichrome offerings of so many indie polish makers bewildering. Then again, I feel the same about holo polishes. How to choose? That said, we are the consumers here and the choices are there for us to make. And I imagine that if I were making polishes, I&#39;d want to try my hand at whatever innovative thing comes down the pike next. But it&#39;s posts like yours that help so much with regard to spending our money wisely, well done and thank you!<br /><br />I hear you re the Peridot dupes, and raise you the murky grey to purple to green OPI Peace and Love/Essie For the Twill of It dupes! Or are they the same thing? ;-&gt;<br /><br />Regarding your vision for a garnet based multichrome with shifts to plum/purple, may I suggest a CrowsToes offering? Hellhound has a translucent deep ruby burgundy base filled with color shifting glass fleck shimmer that changes from bright berry red to orange to gold depending upon the angle of light. Fantastic polish! It isn&#39;t specifically an answer to your prayer but I was reminded of it when I read what you wrote. <br /><br />Another similar multichrome to the KBShimmer and Ozotic you feature here is CrowsToes Indian Summer. It has a deep royal purple jelly base color with shifts through the sunset color spectrum -- violet, magenta, berry, scarlet, flame, blood orange etc. <br /><br />Not to overwhelm with this plethora of comments but I did also want to add that I totally agree with you about layering duo and multichromes over colors analagous to those in the shift palette. I love layering polishes for one of the same reasons you do, I think, that being the creativity this permits us the end users to use to contribute to the overall look and use of a polish. I had a lot of fun doing this with some of the older multichromes among us, the Scherer Chameleon series (RIP).<br /><br />Ok I&#39;ll stop now, sorry for the length of this comment (quote/unquote), I rarely go on like this when commmenting on posts but yours was unexpectedly inspirational.
